The "cloud streets" phenomenon, as seen by GOES East on Feb 1, as cold, dry air flows over relatively warmer water
>Better known as “cloud streets https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/outreach/education/science/convection/Pattern_s2.html,” these formations can develop when cold, dry air flows over relatively warmer water. As the air absorbs heat and moisture from below, rows of long, parallel lines of cumulus clouds form, usually aligned with the wind direction. In the satellite imagery above, a gap of clear skies is visible between the coastline and where the cloud streets begin. That’s due to the time and distance it takes the cold air to pick up the heat and moisture from the water to form clouds.
